between add up to one of the spookiest
treats to come out for a fall seasonal.
Like Magic Hat’s JINX this one is unusal
tasting but kicks in when it warms. Great ESB and what a bottle cover! Get
it whiles it here. dangelicom1 (17), Shelton, Connecticut, USA

There are not any of the distracting flavors of some other fall beers...enjoy this one, get on board for the Christmas Ale because it is awesome! BigBen2120 (688), Derry, New Hampshire, USA

Smells very malty with strong caramel and yeast notes. Tastes malty and spicy, with hints of burnt malts. An excellent beer and an old favorite for me. While it’s very good, I would love to try this on tap. jah noth (1017), Rochester, New York, USA

Deep garnet brown color, large fluffy head that dissipates fairly rapidly and leaves nice lacing. Very clear. Rich malty flavor like an english strong ale but with a nice bitter flavor. Getting richer in body as it warms. This is a quite tasty ale my friends. Enjoy…I wish I had more. If tyhey called this a winter beer, it would get a lot more play. raymow (738), Bensalem, Pennsylvania, USA

Since i really dislike the pumpkin ales this coppery is a great addition to the season’s offerings. I had it on tap and simply loved every minute of it. Nice spicey flavors DYCSoccer17 below me hit the nail on the head as far as the review goes, except my tap beer smelled wonderful and I thought it bit well off the bat.
